While tidying up I had found this old Polychromo, it was lying at the bottom of a travel bag and looked pretty demolished. I sharpened it and somehow I felt like drawing a chicken. Now it will be a rooster and here is a first look.


I had once cut out this study for an art folder, so I don’t have a shadow, but maybe I should do it again. I think when it’s time for strawberries again, I’ll try it at my current drawing level.

Don’t ask me who exactly that should be. This picture came directly from my hand, through the biros, onto the page during a very long train journey. It’s been a while but somehow I like it 🙂

Here is an oil painting. I have hardly any experience with oil paint and this is the first time I have really seriously tried to produce something respectable. This brutal shadow is the result of – I’m trying to fix this. Is this about the face or the hand? Who knows for sure.

This lady is a fountain statue in front of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the drawing that day, it started to rain. Afterwards I thought, unfinished it might be better. I’m sure you know that sometimes when you keep drawing, it’s suddenly too much.

Today I would like to introduce you to a relatively old nature study. It was made by me around 2011. I used watercolour and a few coloured pencils. Here, some shadow is definitely needed to create depth/spatiality.
In case you wonder why this cucumber looks so strange, depicting rotting vegetables and fruits was very trendy back then, at least in my perception.

I’m not sure if this comic also works in English. In German it is “die Rote Armee” (red army).
